Good morning Geoff - I'm now back in the office and have run through your
suggestions with the following result:
a) C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>set
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=[MYKEY]
> LOOKS OK
b) C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo %ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY%
[MYKEY]
> RETURNS KEY CORRECTLY
c) C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "USD" "GBP") |
perl gnc-fq-helper (("USD" (symbol . "USD") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-03-10
08:40:01") (last . #e0.72002) (currency . "GBP")))
> RETURNS ERROR STRING:
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "USD"
"GBP") | perl gnc-fq-helper (("USD" (symbol . "USD") (gnc:time-no-zone .
"2021-03-10 08:40:01") (last . #e0.72002) (currency . "GBP")))

gnc-fq-helper line 331.
Unfortunately I'm not a PERL coder but the code block starting at line 331
is the following:
while(<>) {
my $result = parse_input_line($_);
if(!$result) {
print STDERR "$prgnam: bad input line ($_)\n";
exit 1;
}

Hi David
Did you remember to set your alphavantage key as an environment variable
when testing with Perl from the command line?
Can you try this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>set
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=__Your_Actual_Key__
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo %ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY%
__Your_Actual_Key__
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "USD" "GBP") | perl
gnc-fq-helper (("USD" (symbol . "USD") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-03-10
08:40:01") (last . #e0.72002) (currency . "GBP")))
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (currency "EUR" "RON") | perl
gnc-fq-helper (("EUR" (symbol . "EUR") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-03-10
08:45:05") (last . #e4.8841) (currency . "RON")))
Also, it is normal to get the blank command window when doing Get Quotes on
Windows.
Regards
Geoff
